Benvenuti Nella Mia Cucina, Belli De Nonna! Before we dive into the delicious feast prepared for you, let me give you a little taste of my vita. I was born in the heart of Rome, and I've been cooking up a storm my entire life! My cucina has always been the center of the universe for my 3 daughters, 5 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, their friends, loved ones, and acquaintances – everyone was always Benvenuto!Now, we've brought that same love and flavor right here to San Diego. My beloved grandson, Niccolo', and his amore, Cesarina, are opening the doors of my Cucina with the same warm heart and passion.Wondering how I made it to 95? Well, it's simple: I ate everything that's served here and filled my life with amore! So, Benvenuti! Don't hesitate to indulge in "Scarpetta" - dip that bread into the sauce, just like my grandchildren used to do at the stove when they thought I wasn't looking.Here, Belli De Nonna, it’s all about food, family, and creating beautiful memories!

The Amalfi Llama reimagines the culinary landscape by seamlessly merging the allure of a rustic live-fire steakhouse with the flavors of Italian cuisine, a culinary haven where genuine cooking, down-to-earth cuisine and stylish flair intertwine. Guests embark on a journey from Southern Patagonia to the Mediterranean coast of Italy as they indulge in a multisensory experience that transcends boundaries – from the soothing cream decor to the intimate ambiance of crackling embers accompanied by the melodies of vintage Italian vinyls. Embracing the essence of a modern farmhouse, The Amalfi Llama revolves around an open parrilla grill and wood-burning oven, harnessing fire, smoke, coals and embers to craft dishes. The restaurant’s ethos also meets design with Latin American and Mediterranean influences, resulting in an inviting environment adorned with light woods, natural light and subtly elegant finishes, defying traditional steakhouse and Italian restaurant conventions.
Entrez au Il Fornaio et partez pour un voyage culinaire à travers l'Italie. Les lueurs du matin apportent une ambiance rustique, du pain croûté croustillant chaud du four, le tout accompagné de l'odeur de l’expresso fraîchement infusé. Pendant les heures de dîner et de souper, des pâtes et des sauces savoureuses mijotent durant que les viandes et les légumes rôtissent sur des charbons ardents. Les bouteilles de vin provenant de petits établissements vinicoles régionaux vous sont suggérées pour compléter les plats qui ont été conçus dans la coutume des cuisiniers et des boulangers italiens. Il Fornaio signifie "le boulanger" en italien. Ce restaurant primé vous offre une expérience authentique et unique. Les spécialités comprennent des éléments de rôtisserie au feu de bois, des viandes grillées, de la volaille et du gibier, des pâtes maison, des pizzas cuites au four en bois de chêne, des salades et des soupes, ainsi qu'une grande variété de desserts. Le pain est fait sur place à tous les jours.
